In the next Ruth Galloway mystery, a vision of the Virgin Mary foreshadows a string of cold-blooded murders, revealing a dark current of religious fanaticism in an old medieval town.
Known as England’s Nazareth, the medieval town of Little Walsingham is famous for religious apparitions. So when Ruth Galloway’s druid friend Cathbad sees a woman in a white dress and a dark blue cloak standing alone in the local cemetery one night, he takes her as a vision of the Virgin Mary. But then a woman wrapped in blue cloth is found dead the next day, and Ruth’s old friend Hilary, an Anglican priest, receives a series of hateful, threatening letters. Could these crimes be connected? When one of Hilary’s fellow female priests is murdered just before Little Walsingham’s annual Good Friday Passion Play, Ruth, Cathbad, and DCI Harry Nelson must team up to find the killer before he strikes again.

ELLY GRIFFITHS’s Ruth Galloway novels have been praised as “gripping” (Louise Penny), “highly atmospheric” (New York Times Book Review), and “must-reads for fans of crime fiction” (Associated Press). She is the winner of the 2011 Mary Higgins Clark Award.
“Ruth Galloway is a captivating amateur sleuth—an inspired creation.” —Louise Penny, author of the best-selling Armand Gamache series
“And then Cathbad sees it. A tombstone near the far wall, glowing white in the moonlight, and a woman standing beside it. A woman in white robes and flowing blue cloak. As Cathbad approaches, she looks at him, and her face, illuminated by something stronger than natural light, seems at once so beautiful and so sad that Cathbad crosses himself. ‘Can I help you?’ he calls. His voice echoes against stone and darkness. The woman smiles—such a sad, sweet smile—shakes her head and starts to walk away, moving very fast through the gravestones towards the far gate.”
—from The Woman in Blue
